Chibi-Robo Photo Finder review: Shutter bugged
The first Chibi-Robo on GameCube was an adventure game in miniature about a tiny, mute helper robot who sets out to improve the lives of every human, dog and animate toy within reach. It was pure magic. Chibi-Robo Photo Finder is not that. It very closely resembles Chibi-Robo, but trades the human element and explorable house for, essentially, a mini-game collection that you undertake in service of a poorly executed gimmick. The magic is still there, but it's buried in a lot of busy work. Chibi-Robo, the teensy titular robot, is hired by Mr. Curator (think Peter Molyneux through the lens of The Legend of Zelda: The Light of Courage) to collect "NostalJunk" for a new museum. Chibi-Robo does this by dipping back into the recent past – our present – and snapping pictures of things like toilet paper rolls, books, and pin badges.
New Nintendo eShop releases: Gradius, Chibi-Robo Photo Finder
Let's face it, the eShop is easing out of holiday hibernation. Just four new releases this week, and that's if you count a demo of 2D platformer Jump Trials Supreme. That said, 3DS owners can augment their household reality with Chibi-Robo Photo Finder, while Wii U types can augment any reality with arcade shoot-em-up Gradius. If you're looking for a bit more, Atlus games Code of Princess, Etrian Odyssey 4, and Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers are all on sale, along with Darts Up 3D and Aqua Moto Racing 3D.
